UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

If these recommendations are approved by the Board of Trustees, all members of the faculty and other University employees and staff members of agencies affiliated with the University will be advised of this policy. Action on this was deferred. Approximately 300 members of the University Club (Men's) and 180 members of the University of Illinois Women's Club who are on the faculty of the University or on the staff of affiliated agencies are by virtue of their memberships in these two clubs entitled to the privileges of the Illini Union Building without the payment of the service charge. All other members of the staff who use the building are expected to pay the same service charge as the students, or $5 a semester. Twenty-eight have paid this service charge for the first semester of 1041-1042. T h e second semester of 1940-1941 (the building opened in F e b r u a r y ) , two hundred and seventeen paid the service charge. T h i s m a t t e r w a s r e f e r r e d to the C o m m i t t e e on General Policy for consideration and report. RESIGNATION OF COACH ZUPPKE (17) A telegram from Mr. Harold P o g u e : "President A. C. Willard, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois: Zuppke has authorized and requested me to advise you that he is resigning immediately following the Northwestern game Saturday afternoon. [Signed] HAROLD POCUE." President Cleary reported that Mr. Pogue had telephoned him on Monday, November 17, 1041, and had stated that Mr. Zuppke had decided that he would resign as football coach after the Northwestern game, and had authorized Mr. Pogue to give official notice of that decision to Mr. Cleary as President of the Board of Trustees.

This matter was referred to the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association.

APPROPRIATION FOR LOAD CENTER IN ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM (18) In the preparation of plans and specifications for the heating and power plant and distribution system, Sargent and Lundy, consulting engineers on this project, recommended the construction of seven load centers. T h e State appropriation permitted the construction of only five, making it necessary to carry the Illini Union Building, the Noyes Laboratory, the Chemistry Annex, and the Old Agriculture Building on a temporary service. This has resulted in the present demand approaching the maximum capacity of two existing load centers, and the feeder cable to the Woman's Building is now carrying close to capacity during peak demands. The Director of the Physical Plant Department requests an appropriation of $20,000 for the completion of another load center. Provision for this was included in the biennial budget for 1941-1943 on the basis of an estimate of $25,000 for the cost of this installation. This appropriation is to be made from the reserve for non-recurring allotment of funds for equipment for the biennium of 1941-1043 (Minutes, August 5, 1941, page 412).

Mr. Havens presented this matter. On motion of Mr. Adams, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Cleary, Mr. Davis, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Grigsby, Mr. Jensen, Mr. Livingston; no, none; absent, Mr. Green, Mr. Karraker, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland.
